Everybody needs a vacation

"The Hustle" opens with Florida again in a foul mood, her children wondering what they can do to help her relax. Willona's vacation trip inspires them to try to raise money to buy their mother a vacation of her own, JJ bringing home a box of underwear for sale from their apartment. Florida gets rushed off to work so that the bargains can start at 50 cents, the customers wondering if the merchandise is hot. Bookman naturally cheats them out of a dozen pair, but something hits the fan when Florida arrives home early to standing room only. One enterprising gentleman called earlier to ask if he could see her underwear!

When Florida is leaving for church and when she subsequently returns home, she alternates between having an earring in her left ear, then her right ear, and then no earrings at all between shots.
